You can ask and find answers to a range of topics directly from Summit and from other TBN users. The Summit Tractors brand is here to stay with the recent acquisition of the Summit Tractors brand by ITL, the 5th largest tractor manufacturer in the world. Yes, we make our own tractors, something very important for our owners and prospective owner to know. Summit’s founder continues to lead operations and the U.S. team that supports our retailers, tractor owners and TBN users.
What tire pressure are you running on your TX25

Wow, I don't have a Summit tractor yet but I will. Somebody really pumped the rears up way too high on your tractor. I have a CC/Yanmar and mine stays about 15-18 psi. More than that and it becomes noticeable when driving across my rough yard. This is just my opinion but I think it does spin the R-4 tires much more easily in an uphill turn or something similar. I keep mine a little on the soft side and if I need to carry something like the tiller or a wood chipper, I'll put a little more air in them.

The book numbers sound about right. FYI, the front numbers may be for a non loader tractor though. If you have a loader, you may want higher front pressures while doing loader work. I keep 40psi in my front tires because I use the loader a lot, and 12-14psi in the rears of my Kubota L4060. Different tractor, but same principle.

I've got 16-18 PSI in the rear, and 22 PSI in the front.
I've had one or both front tires go flat three times this spring and I think it was due to my turning the front wheels while not moving and the tire 'burped' off the bead and let out air. The first time it happened I thought I might have run over a nail, but there were no punctures. Once I seated the tire on rim it held air just fine for several weeks. So far it hasn't happened again in the past month while I've put 10 hours on the tractor.

I am operating 90% of the time in soft beach sand.
I have the fronts at 20 psi and the rears a little over 20 psi. They were around 40 psi when the tractor was delivered. The traction is better now, but not great. I am learning the advantages of moving very slowly in deep sand...
I want to get the rears down to 14 psi but there is a lot of Rim Guard. It seems like a little overfill. So much comes out even with the valves exactly at 12 o'clock. I think I will drain about a half gallon from each tire to get it further below the valve to make it less messy and then take them down to 14 psi.
